FRIDAY, MAY 15, 2020 773.526.8353BY A STAFF WRITER FORT DODGE, IA-Dr. Megan Srinivas, an Indian American infectious disease and internal medicine physician at the Community Health Center of Fort Dodge, Iowa, is one of four finalists for the Confidence Award, awarded by the Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa, as well as one of its 12 Most Inspiring Women in Iowa for 2020, according to a report on messengernews.net. According to the Inspiring Women of Iowa website, the Confidence Award is “given to someone who continues to demonstrate confidence, a positive state of mind that guides her steps and actions. Confidence comes from feelings of well-being, acceptance of her body and mind and belief in her own ability, skills and experience.” Srinivas said in the report that she feels very lucky to be considered of the same caliber as the other women who have been named “the most inspiring” in the state. The Inspiring Women of Iowa event was originally scheduled for May 7 at the Iowa Events Center Ballroom in Des Moines, but has been postponed to a later date due to the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak.
